Apple's Tim Cook to Attend State of Union as Guest of Michelle Obama

There won't only be political heavyweights and victims of gun violence in attendance at tonight's State of the Union. The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, will be a guest of first lady Michelle Obama, Apple confirmed to ABC News.

At the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference today, Cook spoke about innovation as well as some of the company's cash pile. "The only thing we will never do is make a crappy product. We are going to make a great product," Cook said. "That's the only religion we have."

When asked about Apple's $137 billion cash hoard, Cook said, "We do have some cash, but it's a privilege to be in this position…where we can seriously consider returning additional cash to our shareholders."

Cook became the CEO of Apple in August 2011, after working at the company for 14 years and serving as Steve Jobs' chief deputy.
